"A wondrous and moving account of a remarkable life... this is a nature film that benefits greatly from being seen on the big screen. Its epic elements of adventure, romance, spiritual connection and lifelong dedication to a cause possess a sweep equal to any narrative feature." — David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

"There are no loose ends or wasted time; everything builds to a rising crescendo that makes you feel like your heart is going to burst." — April Wolfe, Village Voice

In 1960, renowned paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey sent an adventurous 26-year-old secretary with no scientific training to Tanzania to study chimpanzees. Jane Goodall went on to become a trailblazing primatologist whose unprecedented (and never equaled) access to a chimpanzee community profoundly influenced the way we think about animals and humans. Acclaimed documentarian Morgen (THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE, KURT COBAIN: A MONTAGE OF HECK) weaves a soaring Phillip Glass score, new interview material from the vigorous 83-year-old Ms. Goodall, and a trove of never-before-seen footage of her early explorations into a thrilling and intimate portrait of an extraordinary woman. Named best documentary of 2017 by the Chicago Film Critics Association. DCP digital. (MR)
